1.7.1.13

Accepted name:

preQ₁ synthase

Reaction:

7-aminomethyl-7-carbaguanine + 2 NADP⁺ = 7-cyano-7-carbaguanine + 2 NADPH + 2 H⁺

Glossary:

7-aminomethyl-7-carbaguanine = preQ₁ = 7-aminomethyl-7-deazaguanine
7-cyano-7-carbaguanine = preQ₀ = 7-cyano-7-deazaguanine

Other name(s):

YkvM; QueF; preQ₀ reductase; preQ₀ oxidoreductase; 7-cyano-7-deazaguanine reductase; queuine synthase (incorrect as queuine is not the product); queuine:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase (incorrect as queuine is not the product)

Systematic name:

7-aminomethyl-7-carbaguanine:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase

Comments:

The reaction occurs in the reverse direction. This enzyme catalyses one of the early steps in the synthesis of queuosine (Q-tRNA), and is followed by the action of EC 2.4.2.29, tRNA-guanosine³⁴ transglycosylase. Queuosine is found in the wobble position of tRNA_GUN in Eukarya and Bacteria [2] and is thought to be involved in translational modulation. The enzyme is not a GTP cyclohydrolase, as was thought previously based on sequence-homology studies.
